I'm looking at these new style camber kits for the front

They are not your ordinary "U" style camber kit

Not new - Ingalls has been offering camber kits in that style for years.

Thanks for answering my question,

Are they better to use than the regular camber kits ?

That's actually the original "style" camber adjusters for double wishbone Hondas. I would say they are worse because they are very difficult to get both bolts adjusted the same. If you're not careful you'll end up with whacked out caster and the adjuster bolts could bind.

I doubt you need a camber kit for a street car. Just have the toe angles adjusted to spec and you should be fine.

i had those a few years back. absolutely horrible. impossible to adjust and the bushings wore out in no time causing all kinds of banging noises in the front end.

if you need a adjustable camber kit stick to the skunk2 style for the front.
